Dolby Laboratories Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2012 Results

01/31/2012

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE:DLB) today announced the Company's financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2012.

For the first quarter, Dolby reported total revenue of $233.4 million, compared to $242.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

First quarter GAAP net income was $73.2 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, compared to $86.4 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2011. On a non-GAAP basis, first quarter net income was $83.1 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, compared to $85.0 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Dolby's non-GAAP measures exclude expenses related to stock-based compensation, the amortization of intangibles from business combinations, restructuring charges, and the related tax impact of these items. In addition, the non-GAAP measures exclude a one-time benefit resulting from the release of a deferred tax liability in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

"In the first quarter, we grew licensing revenue year over year on the strength of our broadcast and mobile markets," said Kevin Yeaman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dolby Laboratories. "We continue to enhance the entertainment experience in online content with the addition of services such as HBO Go®, which recently announced the adoption of Dolby® Digital Plus."

Financial Targets

For fiscal 2012, Dolby continues to target revenue of $910 million to $970 million.

GAAP

For fiscal 2012, Dolby continues to target total gross margin of approximately 90 percent, operating expenses of $465 million to $475 million, and other income of approximately $5 million. In addition, Dolby continues to target a tax rate of approximately 29 percent to 30 percent for fiscal 2012. While stock-based compensation expense may vary based on factors such as stock price or volatility, Dolby continues to target stock-based compensation expense for fiscal 2012 of approximately $51 million. In addition, Dolby continues to target charges related to the amortization of acquired intangibles for fiscal 2012 of approximately $10 million and restructuring charges of approximately $2 million.

Non-GAAP

For fiscal 2012, Dolby continues to target total gross margin of approximately 91 percent, operating expenses of $410 million to $420 million, and other income of approximately $5 million. In addition, Dolby continues to target a tax rate of approximately 29 percent to 30 percent for fiscal 2012. Dolby's non-GAAP targets exclude expenses related to stock-based compensation, the amortization of intangibles from business combinations, restructuring charges, and the related tax impact of these items. In addition, the non-GAAP measures exclude a one-time benefit resulting from the release of a deferred tax liability in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Diluted Earnings per Share

Dolby continues to target diluted shares outstanding of approximately 110 million. These targets lead to a fiscal 2012 diluted earnings per share target range of $2.31 to $2.61 on a GAAP basis and $2.71 to $3.02 on a non-GAAP basis.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement Dolby's financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Dolby provides non-GAAP financial measures of gross margin, operating expense, tax rate, and diluted earnings per share. These measures are adjusted to exclude the charges and expenses discussed above. Dolby presents such non-GAAP financial measures in reporting its financial results to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate Dolby's operating results in a manner that focuses on what Dolby's management believes to be its ongoing business operations. Dolby's management believes it is useful for itself and investors to review, as applicable, both GAAP information that includes the impact of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations, restructuring charges, the related tax impact of all of these items on the provision for income taxes, and a one-time benefit resulting from the release of a deferred tax liability in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, and the non-GAAP measures that exclude such information in order to assess the performance of Dolby's business for planning and forecasting in subsequent periods. Dolby's management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Whenever Dolby uses such a non-GAAP financial measure, it provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as detailed above. Investors are also encouraged to review Dolby's GAAP financial statements as reported in its SEC filings. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures is provided at the end of this press release and on Dolby's investor relations website at http://investor.dolby.com/medialist.cfm.
